I was also thinking that Andrew might want to take the female plug apart and tighten the little receivers a bit to promote better contact. I did that with mine and it has worked fine even without Deoxit. Manfred Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2016 13:04:48 -0500 From: OK Don Also,

Re: [MBZ] Fer sayle.

Heck for a dollar I'm almost tempted to drive up to Mass. with a trailer to pick up that TD just for the engine, or at least I would if the engine would fit into an 83 TD. Don't know if anyone has ever tried that one. Manfred On 10/14/16 3:27 PM, Fred Moir via Mercedes wrote: Alles. For

Re: [MBZ] OT: BMW R100/7

That was about what I came out with. Though I have seen one that was down at $1400 though it was a bit more rusty in the frame then mine is. I'm not really interested in in doing the work and sourcing the parts, just want to get it gone whenever. Manfred Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 21:46:19

[MBZ] OT: BMW R100/7

Anybody have an opinion on the value of an 83 R100/7? It isn't in great shape but does need new carb floats and probably by now both brake master cylinders. I'm at the age where I really don't want to get on it any more. "Mercedes Content" I'm just too comfortable in my 83 300TD what with the

Re: [MBZ] Matthew

Just woke up after getting home about 1:30 last night. Found not much to report here east of Gainesville Fl. I left about 12 noon on Fri to drive down to Orlando. Saw a couple of trees down near the road going through the forest on 19 one that was blocking the southbound lane but other then

Re: [MBZ] VW macrobus

As far as I can remember the transaxle was the same. The only difference was the axles themselves. The reduction box was there more to give better power from the same engine because of the weight carrying capabilities of the bus. We used to drive from Westchester up to the Catskills a lot of

That might actually be what was done. Though I have a feeling that this is more likely a photoshop session. Manfred Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 22:26:53 -0600 From: Craig To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] VW macrobus Message-ID:

Re: [MBZ] VW macrobus

All the Buses up to the beginning of the 68 model had a reduction gear box at the wheels. It was never a 1:1 in there. The axle had a smaller gear and the wheel hub had a slightly bigger gear. I did way too much work on those things not to remember that. Manfred Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016

Re: [MBZ] VW macrobus

That's what I did for my Mom years ago with an 84 bus. It also had a 5 speed transmission. She loved it. Used crow about blowing away some old guy in a big boat Cadillac that was just stumbling along at 45 or 50 in a 55 zone. Said she never would have been able to do that with the old engine

Take a turkey baster and slurp up a bunch of the oil, put it into a bowl and see if it is indeed black. More then likely it will be a clear slightly brown oil color. That is what mine was but in the tank it looked black. Andrew Strasfogel wrote: I just happened to check my SLS fluid today,

Re: [MBZ] Accumulators bad?

Yep. Drove up to the library and the improvement in ride was definitely noticeable. Well worth the cost and the 2 hours to do the job. Next is the o-rings and seal in the pump. Will be picking the ones from MB up tomorrow. The other two I got when I was in town yesterday. Manfred Date:

[MBZ] Accumulators bad?

So for a couple of months or more I've been noticing that the rear end of my 83 300TD has been going up and down a bit more then normal when going over bumps. Not too bad but kind of like when the shocks are not too new any more and may need replacing. About three weeks ago I noticed that the
